  • Friend of Ex Toronto Mayor Rob Ford Ill As Trial Sputters

    Friend of Ex Toronto Mayor Rob Ford Ill As Trial Sputters

    Friend of ex Toronto mayor Rob Ford ill as trial sputters THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO – A hearing into drug charges against a friend of former Toronto mayor Rob Ford began Tuesday with the accused a no show, one count against him withdrawn, and his co-accused making an extraordinary request to be excused from trial. Alexander (Sandro) Lisi, who was also Ford's sometimes driver, was ill and did not appear for what was to be the start of the trial, forcing a premature end to the day's hearing. His lawyer, Domenic Basile, told court Lisi sufers from vertigo and his mother said he had been throwing up. ``It could be a few hours. It could be a few days,'' Basile replied when Ontario court Judge Ramez Khawly asked when Lisi would be well enough to attend. Ultimately, Khawly put the hearing over until Wednesday, warning that if Lisi did not appear, ``all bets are of.'' Lisi, 36, was charged in October 2013 as the ``crack video'' scandal engulfed the notorious former mayor, now a city councillor. The charges against him and co-accused Jamshid Bahrami – both are out on bail – arose as police investigated Ford amid reports of a video that apparently showed him smoking crack cocaine. At the time, Ford called Lisi a ``good guy'' and expressed shock at the charges. In a highly unusual request, Bahrami, a west-end dry cleaner, asked to be excused from the trial. Bahrami, 47, sufers from a chronic, degenerative form of rheumatoid arthritis that leaves him in constant pain, said his lawyer, Jacob Stilman, adding his client's condition would never get any better.

    Rethinking Toronto's Middle Landscape: Spaces of Planning, Contestation, and Negotiation Robert Scott Fiedler a Dissertation S

    RETHINKING TORONTO’S MIDDLE LANDSCAPE: SPACES OF PLANNING, CONTESTATION, AND NEGOTIATION ROBERT SCOTT FIEDLER A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN GEOGRAPHY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO May 2017 © Robert Scott Fiedler, 2017 Abstract This dissertation weaves together an examination of the concept and meanings of suburb and suburban, historical geographies of suburbs and suburbanization, and a detailed focus on Scarborough as a suburban space within Toronto in order to better understand postwar suburbanization and suburban change as it played out in a specific metropolitan context and locale. With Canada and the United States now thought to be suburban nations, critical suburban histories and studies of suburban problems are an important contribution to urbanistic discourse and human geographical scholarship. Though suburbanization is a global phenomenon and suburbs have a much longer history, the vast scale and explosive pace of suburban development after the Second World War has a powerful influence on how “suburb” and “suburban” are represented and understood. One powerful socio-spatial imaginary is evident in discourses on planning and politics in Toronto: the city-suburb or urban-suburban divide. An important contribution of this dissertation is to trace out how the city-suburban divide and meanings attached to “city” and “suburb” have been integral to the planning and politics that have shaped and continue to shape Scarborough and Toronto. The research employs an investigative approach influenced by Michel Foucault’s critical and effective histories and Bent Flyvbjerg’s methodological guidelines for phronetic social science.

    THE FALSE PANACEA of CITY CHARTERS? a POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE on the CASE of TORONTO Andrew Sancton

    Volume 9 • Issue 3 • January 2016 THE FALSE PANACEA OF CITY CHARTERS? A POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE CASE OF TORONTO Andrew Sancton SUMMARY Toronto is unlike any other city, as its local boosters will not hesitate to point out. That was the basis, after all, of the “charter movement” that demanded special rights for a mega-city that the movement’s backers insisted was so vital that it even warranted a status similar to that of an entire province. Their efforts culminated in the province’s passage in 2006 of the City of Toronto Act, which appeared on its face to grant the metropolis the power it believed it required and merited. In reality, the Ontario government may have actually set Toronto back, leaving it more at the mercy of provincial power than other smaller municipalities. The few additional taxation powers that were granted by the ostensible Toronto “charter” — the City of Toronto Act — are, in reality, still overseen by the province, which retains the right to limit those revenue tools if it considers it “desirable in the provincial interest to do so.” But while Toronto may have been given just a small number of revenue tools, which it has used only sparingly, and the use of those tools is ultimately decided by Queen’s Park, their very existence has given the province licence to sidestep the city’s calls for more funding. The provincial Liberals have, in the past, insisted that Toronto make use of its own taxes before it demands more provincial funds. Meanwhile, the City of Toronto Act did nothing to curtail the power of the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).

    Toronto City Council Enviro Report Card 2010-2014

    TORONTO CITY COUNCIL ENVIRO REPORT CARD 2010-2014 TORONTO ENVIRONMENTAL ALLIANCE • JUNE 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY hortly after the 2010 municipal election, TEA released a report noting that a majority of elected SCouncillors had committed to building a greener city. We were right but not in the way we expected to be. Councillors showed their commitment by protecting important green programs and services from being cut and had to put building a greener city on hold. We had hoped the 2010-14 term of City Council would lead to significant advancement of 6 priority green actions TEA had outlined as crucial to building a greener city. Sadly, we’ve seen little - if any - advancement in these actions. This is because much of the last 4 years has been spent by a slim majority of Councillors defending existing environmental policies and services from being cut or eliminated by the Mayor and his supporters; programs such as Community Environment Days, TTC service and tree canopy maintenance. Only in rare instances was Council proactive. For example, taking the next steps to grow the Greenbelt into Toronto; calling for an environmental assessment of Line 9. This report card does not evaluate individual Council members on their collective inaction in meeting the 2010 priorities because it is almost impossible to objectively grade individual Council members on this. Rather, it evaluates Council members on how they voted on key environmental issues. The results are interesting: • Average Grade: C+ • The Mayor failed and had the worst score. • 17 Councillors got A+ • 16 Councillors got F • 9 Councillors got between A and D In the end, the 2010-14 Council term can be best described as a battle between those who wanted to preserve green programs and those who wanted to dismantle them.

    Council's Strategic Plan - Part I

    Council's Strategic Plan - Part I (City Council on November 23, 24 and 25, 1999, adopted this Clause, without amendment.) The Policy and Finance Committee recommends the adoption of the following report (November 3, 1999) from the Council Reference Group for the Strategic Plan: Purpose: On October 1, 1998, City Council approved the development of Council's Strategic Plan – a key Council leadership document. Part I of Council's Strategic Plan has been drafted, and is being submitted by the Council Reference Group for Council's consideration. Financial Implications and Impact Statement: There are no financial implications resulting from the adoption of the recommendations in this report. Recommendations: It is recommended that City Council adopt Part I of Council’s Strategic Plan, encompassing Council’s vision, mission and goals as set out in the Appendix to this report, and that this be taken into account by the City’s other planning initiatives including the Official Plan, Social Development Strategy, Economic Development Strategy and Environmental Plan. Comments: The vision, mission and goals represent the first part of Council’s Strategic Plan (appended). The vision statement sets out Council’s collective vision for the city. The mission statement is Council’s statement about the broad role and purpose of the City Government. The goals represent directions that Council can influence and that will influence Council’s decision-making as it strives to improve the quality of life in the city. Council adoption of the vision, mission and goals in Part I of the Strategic Plan will move the process forward with Part II – the development of City Strategies.
